How do I apply for EPIC Advantage internship funding?

Before you apply for funding, you must find and secure an internship. Suggested steps:

Schedule an initial appointment with you Career Coach.After logging into Handshake, choose the EPIC Advantage Discernment meeting if you would like to discuss your options for using EPIC Advantage funding. This meeting is encouraged, but not required.

Begin or continue working towards your ProFound certification. ProFound (Professional Foundations) includes career workshops and appointments designed to prepare you for applying for and working in internships. ProFound is not required in order to qualify for funding, but students who have completed ProFound prior to beginning their internship will have fewer course requirements for the internship.
